Edwin McIntosh Cover ’55

Mac died July 15, 2015.

Born May 13, 1933, in Baltimore, he prepared at Woodberry Forest School. Mac majored in history, joined Cottage Club, and lived at 11 Alexander St. with his wife, Anne Lowell Thorndike. Mac wrote his thesis on “Woodrow Wilson and the 1919 Election for Governor of New Jersey.” His father, Thomas, was a member of the Class of 1928.

After graduating from Harvard Law School, Mac served as counsel for several corporations for 33 years, retiring in 1993 as vice-president and general counsel of Olin Corp.

After living in Darien, Conn., for a number of years, Mac and his wife, Annie, split their time between Skidaway Island, Ga., and their second home in Park City, Utah, with frequent trips to visit their daughters in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Annie and Mac enjoyed golfing, skiing, singing in the church choir, and spoiling their grandchildren. Their retirement was cut short by Mac’s premature demise on a cruise ship taking him and Annie to vacation in Norway.

He is survived by Annie, daughters Carolyn Moore and Anne Rawlins, and five grandchildren. Mac’s brother Thomas predeceased him. The class sends condolences.
